QUALIFICATIONS • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 2–3 years working on production AI or real-time systems. • Strong proficiency in Python and modern web/backend development (preferably PHP/Laravel or equivalent frameworks). • Experience with LLM-based systems (OpenAI / Groq / similar), prompt engineering, streaming responses, and integrating multiple AI providers. • Solid understanding of event-driven architectures, queues, and background job processing. • Hands-on experience with relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL), schema design, and query optimization. • Comfortable working across frontend (Vue/React or similar), backend, and infrastructure to deliver end-to-end features. • Strong debugging skills in distributed, real-time environments (latency, race conditions, concurrency, audio/voice pipelines). • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams. • As part of a diverse team, the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. • Fluent in English (spoken and written).
